Conditioning Summer Camp

Summer Conditioning Camp

Bryan Hill, cabin 9

During Conditioning, we exercise to develop muscles and self-esteem. In the first class, we took tests to see how many crunches and push-ups we could do in a minute and how many pull-ups we could do. After that, we had to run a mile. We did these tests so that we would know if we had improved at the end of the month. At the beginning of each class, we run two laps around the soccer field. Then, each person does different exercises instructed by Rob, the counselor. That about wraps it up for explaining conditioning.

Getting into shape is the main goal of conditioning class. Our class always consists of running around the soccer field for 10 minutes. This works your whole body. Then we usually stretch out for a couple of minutes. Next we do as many push-ups as we can in three minutes. This is hard work. After this we do as many sit-ups as we can in three minutes. After both of these, we usually do these sit-up things where we lie down in sit-up position and at different angles lean on our backs. This works your abdominal muscles very well. Then we lie down on our backs again and put our legs straight up. Another person will push your legs down and the person on the ground has to keep his legs from hitting the ground. This activity is difficult. This point is usually the end of the class. Conditioning is a very fun class.
